I have been dreaming the conference, only I am the successful author giving the Break Out Session and having a fabulous time.  It is such a great dream that the sleep paralysis isn't working - I'm talking in my sleep & waking myself up critiquing imaginary picture books and talking to my audience.  I do wake up smiling!

The unfortunate part is I haven't written a thing since I've been back.  I have spilling over with ideas, and my job is draining me dry.  This week, though, I think will take me over the hump so I can leave earlier and have some Me Writing Time.  I want to polish Alice, overhaul The Cloud Kids, and start about 12 terrific ideas I have.

I'm thrilled with my big book purchase last night - Food Lion has a bin of bargain children's books.  Of course I was digging through it.  I got, for the grand total of $5.00, The Flintstones official guide to the cartoon classic.  Not a children's book per se, but I'm ok with that.  :P
